SERIES 60 ON-HIGHWAY ENGINE OPERATOR'S GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

This guide is intended for use by the

operator of a Detroit Diesel Series

60® engine used in the following

applications:

□ On-Highway Vehicles

□ Fire Truck or Crash/Rescue

Vehicles

Non-Genuine and Rebu ilt

Component Quality Alert

In recent years, electronic engine

controls have been instrumental

in aiding engine manufacturers in

meeting the stringent emission

requirements of the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency

(U.S. EPA) and the California Air

Resources Board (CARB) and

also in meeting the ever-increasing

performance demands of the customer.

Maintenance procedures are t o

be followed in order to continue

satisfactory performance and

durability and to ensure coverage of

the engine under the manufacturer's

warranty. Many of these maintenance

procedures also ensure that the engine

continues to c om ply with applicable

emissions standards. The U .S.

EPA speciﬁcally d e ﬁnes an engine's

“useful emission life” — currently

established as 43 5,000 miles (700,0 00

kilometers) for on-highway engines.

Proper maintenance procedures, using

speciﬁc components engineered to

comply with emissions regulations,

may be performed by an authorized

Detroit D iesel distributor or d ealer,

an independent outlet or the op erator

or ow ner. The owner is responsible

for determining the suitability of

components to maintain emissions

compliance d uring the engine's useful

emission life.

Electronic contro ls and components

have signi ﬁcantly increased in

sophistication, b ut the fundamental

objective remains the same — precise

timing and delivery o f fuel. The v ery

heart of the Detroit Diesel Electronic

Controls (DDEC®) is the electronic

unit injector (EUI ). The p roper

functioning of the EUI is a bsolu tely

paramount if the beneﬁts of electronic

controls are to be realized. Detroit

Diesel Corporation has bui lt over

650,000 engines with electronic unit

injectors — more than anyone else in

the business.

Detroit Diesel cautions that the

indiscriminate rebuilding of precision

components, withou t the beneﬁtof

speciﬁcations, specialized equipm ent,

and knowledge of the electronic

operating system, will jeopardize

performance or lead to more serious

problems, and can take the engine

outside of compliance with U.S. EPA

or CA RB emissions standards.

All inform ation subject to change without notice. 1

INTRODUCTION

There a re other co mp onen ts in

an engine, such as turbocharger,

camshaft, piston, etc., which

are speciﬁcally designed and

manufactured to exacting standards

for emissions compliance. It is

important that these components, if

replaced, modiﬁed or substituted, can

be veriﬁed to ensure that the engine

remains in compliance with emissions

standards. The use of inadequately

engineered, manufactured or tested

components in repair or rebuild of

the engine may b e in violation of the

federal Clean Air A ct and applicable

U.S. EPA or CARB regulations.

Furthermore, modern engines exh ibit

operating parameters which require

the use of proper ﬂuids, such as

fuel, coolant and lubricating oil, to

maintain lon g engine life. Th e use of

ﬂuids that do not meet Detroit Diesel

Corporation speciﬁcations may result

in early wear out or engine failure.

SERIES 60 ON-HIGHWAY ENGINE OPERATOR'S GUIDE

CAUTION SUMMARY

The following cautions must be

observed by the operator of the

vehicle o r e quipment in which this

engine is installed and/or by those

performing basic engine preventive

maintenance. Failure to read and

heed these cautions and exercise

reasonable care for personal safety

and the safety of others when

operating the vehicle/e qu ipment

or performing basic engine

preventive maintenance may result

in personal injury and engine

and/or vehicle/equipment damage.

Engine Operation

Observe the followin g cautions when

operating the engine.

PERSONAL INJURY

To avoid injury from loss of

vehicle/vessel control, the

operator of a DDEC equipped

engine must not use or read

any diagnostic tool while the

vehicle/vessel is moving.

PERSONAL INJURY

Diesel engine exhaust and some

of its constituents are known to

the State of California to cause

cancer, birth defects, and other

reproductive harm.

□ Always start and operate an

engine in a well ventilated

area.

□ If operating an engine in

an enclosed area, vent the

exhaust to the outside.

□ Do not modify or tamper

with the exhau st system or

emission control system.

PERSONAL INJURY

To avoid injur y from engine

shutdown in an unsafe situation,

ensure the operator know s how

to override the stop engine

condition on a DDEC-equipped

unit.

All inform ation subject to change without notice. 3

CAUTION SUMMARY

LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL

To avoid injury from loss of

vehicle control, d o not activate

the Engin e Brake system u nder

the following conditions:

□ On wet or slippery pavemen t,

unless the vehicle is equipped

with ABS (anti-lock braking

system) and you have had

prior experience driving

under these conditions .

□ When driving without a trailer

(bobtailing) or pulling an

empty trailer.

□ Ifthetractordrivewheels

begin to lock or there is

ﬁshtail motion after the

EngineBrakeisactivated,

deactivate the brake system

immediately if this occurs.

LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL

To avoid injury from the loss of

vehicle control, do not use cruise

control under these conditions:

□ When it is not possible to

keep the vehicle at a constant
